Samba Police Intercept 17-Year-Old Youth with Heroin in Major Anti-Drug Patrol
SAMBA, August 09, 2026 — In an ongoing crack down against illicit substance trafficking across the region, law enforcement personnel under the Bari Brahmana jurisdiction successfully intercepted a juvenile and confiscated a quantity of suspected narcotics during a routine security sweep.
The action unfolded when a specialized patrolling unit from the Bari Brahmana police station noticed a motorcycle, registered under number JK02DM-7933, navigating from Balole Khad toward the JDA Colony area. Spotting suspicious movement, officers signaled the two-wheeler to pull over for inspection. A thorough search of the 17-year-old rider yielded approximately 3.36 grams of a substance believed to be heroin. Police immediately secured the suspect, alongside the illicit contraband and the vehicle used in the transit.
Following standard legal procedures established for minors, authorities registered First Information Report (FIR) No. 241/2026 under Sections 8, 21, 22, and 25 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act at the Bari Brahmana police station. The youth was designated as a Child in Conflict with Law (CCL) and subsequently produced before the appropriate judicial authority, which remanded him to the Observation Home located in RS Pura, Jammu, as formal investigations progress to determine the origins of the seized contraband.
